Chapter 197: I will work harder in the future
Fortunately, the moon was exceptionally bright tonight, otherwise Lilith would not be able to see Catherine sitting on the stone steps in a black dress.
The silver moonlight fell softly on her. She was indifferent to Lucas's screams and howls in the castle. She just sat there quietly, like a quietly blooming flower of the night.
Lilith sensed her low mood, walked over and sat down next to her, and the two were speechless for a moment.
"My scalp hurts." Catherine suddenly opened her mouth, and Lilith couldn't help but look at her sideways.
The silver-haired girl bent her knees and rested her chin on them. Her fair skin almost glowed under the moonlight. Her eyes were a little blank as she uttered some small complaints that she would never say on a normal day - "I don't want to wear my hair in a bun anymore."
Lilith couldn't help but laugh.
There was a slight flapping sound of wings, and the gargoyle fell from the sky and landed in front of the two of them.
"Gurgle." It snored softly, as if it was a little puzzled that they were still awake so late. Then it stretched out its two hands and folded them in front of its body.
"Come on." Lilith stood up and patted Catherine on the shoulder. "I'll give you a ride."
……
"Is this the scenery you see every night?" Catherine was still a little afraid to relax, holding the gargoyle's arm tightly, looking at the scenery under her feet and sighing. "What an enviable experience..."
The gargoyle took the two of them in one hand and brought them to the sky, slowly flying towards the dormitory building. The higher they went, the stronger the night wind was. There was no heat from the daytime here, and it was very cool and comfortable. And under their feet was the beautiful college that was sleeping.
"There are better places." Lilith patted the gargoyle lazily back. It grunted, flapped its wings, and rose again, turning in a different direction and flying out of the school.
The bell tower, which rings diligently all day long, becomes quiet after nightfall and quietly talks to the stars.
But tonight, it suddenly welcomed an unexpected guest. Two little girls suddenly appeared on the top of the clock tower, overlooking the entire sleeping city.
"No wonder people yearn for the top of the mountain..." Catherine murmured as she looked at the winding streets and houses of different styles. The wind whistled in her ears and blew her hair. When her vision widened, people seemed so small and insignificant, which made her feel happy for no reason.
She turned her head to look at her companion next to her. Lilith had already taken off her shoes and placed her feet on the cool stone fence, sighing comfortably.
Catherine thought about it, and followed her example, taking off her shoes and socks, sitting barefoot on the stone fence, and swinging freely.
"Sorry, Lilith." Catherine looked at the moon and suddenly apologized in a low voice.
"What are you apologizing for?" Lilith looked into the distance, somewhat dissatisfied with Catherine for destroying the quiet atmosphere.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble." If it weren't for her close relationship with Lilith, she might not have been subjected to all this hatred and targeting.
"There's no trouble at all. Haven't you solved them all?" Lily said nonchalantly.
Although she was a little confused at first, she witnessed Catherine's decisiveness. She was just a bystander from beginning to end and it was over without doing anything.
"As long as you solve it fast enough, trouble will not catch up with me." Lilith shamelessly gave the diligent princess chicken soup, telling her to work harder on her teeth in the future!
"But I do have some doubts." Lilith decided not to leave the question until dawn. "Why... you don't want the teachers to know that I also have some unknown symptoms."
Catherine turned her head and looked at Lilith, wondering whether she was too naive or too sophisticated.
"Lilith, you are different from Lucas." Catherine said. Even though this place was dozens of meters high and no one was around, she still lowered her voice cautiously.
"Lilith, you are a noble. Have you ever thought about the impact of rumors about your impure bloodline on you?"
Lilith was startled. Yes, the nobility has always ensured the purity of their bloodline through strict marriage systems and family norms. Catherine is worried about her situation, and she must have suffered similar attacks herself...
However, her situation was different from Catherine's, so she smiled and patted the worried princess on the shoulder, and consoled her, "I'm fine, Catherine. My father doesn't like me anyway, so he doesn't care about me—"
Lilith suddenly stopped talking, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning, and she was so scared that she shrugged.
She couldn't help but recall the cold looks, disgust, and hidden fear that Viscount James Friar had shown her time and again.
Is it...
"What's wrong?" Catherine asked with concern, looking at Lilith's sudden change of expression.
"Hiss..." Lilith showed the strange look that was unique to her when she was gossiping. "It's okay, I just think..."
"Someone might be cuckolded."
